Lightlark (The Lightlark Saga Book 1)
An instant #1 National Bestseller--soon to be a major motion picture. #BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons--a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm's curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling--a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray...even as love complicates everything. Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

As someone who grew up at the pinnacle of Twilight, Hungers Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner (the books ONLY) like many I’ve has this void in my reading soul. Searching for the perfect balance of angst, romance, fantasy, twists and turns… Fellow readers, THIS IS THAT BOOK!
I throughly enjoyed reading this. The characters, not too many to keep track, the work building is so unique and the PLOT TWIST! Highly recommend fellow readers
I Am DNFing it, there are just too many plot holes and devices of convenience and honestly, the main character is infuriating at best. it has a god concept and an interesting premise but that is about it. unfortunately, it could have been really really good. Even if it did have the hype built up around it, I have touched it in weeks, and haven't even given it a passing thought.
